    Ah, didn't know. I think Asia's a bigger market than Europe though, right?

    I'm not too sure...but I do know that most of my big pimp sales go to Europe.

    Some stores get a few, others don't. It's not like no one's getting any, it's just there's far fewer Russian ones than the others.

    Korean has the same distribution as Russian in the US, lower distribution than Russian in Europe, and more than Russian in Asia.

  • posted a message on [SCD] Temporal Mastery
    Quote from mastro80
    Please enlighten us. Which Legacy deck wants this card? I read an article on either CFB or SCG about a Dream Halls Combo deck that wanted the card. The deck didn't seem particularly fun or all that overpowered to me. Apparently one pro thought it was the best deck to feature Temporal Mastery in Legacy. I REALLY don't think we are looking at a banworthy card here.

    The Legacy Meta would have to be completely overrun with Dream Halls Temporal Mastery combo (or some other deck that takes over the meta) to give Mastery the axe.


    I don't think it'll get banned in Legacy, but we've tested it in Delver builds and it can be very good.

    T1:Delver
    T2:Brainstorm, Flip, 3 Damage
    T3:Mastery, Delver/Guide/Bolt, 3-6 Damage
    Extra turn: 6-9 Damage

    I mean, it's not BAD, but not ban worthy,

  • posted a message on [[FTV]] From the Vault: Realms
    Quote from bfellow
    Yeah people here are really dreaming if Wizards print 3 or more $30+ cards in a single FTV set. While FTV Exiles does have 2, I think they're going to limit it to 1 expensive and 2 middle of the pack ones.

    So my new list:

    1) Karakas
    2) Ancient Tomb
    3) Phyrexian Tower
    4) Academy Ruins
    5) Eye of Ugin
    6) Glacial Chasm
    7) Minamo, School at Water's Edge
    8) Reliquary Tower
    9) Valakut
    10) Desert or Oasis
    11) High Market
    12) Cephalid Coliseum
    13) Cloudpost
    14) Mosswort Bridge
    15) New land


    Hmmm...A Foil Ancient Tomb will certainly fetch a lot...possibly in the $20 range.

    Quote from Ball Lightning
    Cute name drop.

    Phantasmal Image went north of $10 in fall of 2011 for 2 reasons.

    1) illusions was a real deck
    2) Natural Order RUG was the Legacy deck to beat and Phantasmal Image was a 2 mana sb answer to Progenitus.


    Actually, on the Legacy side, metamorph had/has greater use in more decks as a sb answer...Image went up because it was being used as a 3-4 of in Legacy Merfolk to copy lords and whatnot. It later fell a bit because Merfolk has become less and less of a threat in Legacy.

    As far as its use in Standard, I really don't know...other than it kills geist and elesh norn...and works well with the multi-colored captains.

    $1. Literally stacks of the comic with the card sitting at stores with no buyers.

    Quote from Heidtb
    I say geist. Snappy is currently used more, but there is more of him

    Geist is also played in several formats and there will be less of him overall.


    Snap.

    Why? You will hardly ever need a set of these for a deck and Snap is almost a sure 4-of in eternal formats. Snap is slightly higher right now in actual value. A good way to judge how in demand and how much a card is being used in eternal/multiple formats is by checking its pimp/foil vaue. Snap is at least 20 more in that department...

  • posted a message on HELP! Value on some Foil Jason Chan Alters...SCANS
    Quote from Moose Man
    That's the nature of offers on these types of items since no one actually can put a certain value on them. post them everywhere for sale, here, motl, librarities, pojo etc. everywhere with a message board. price them at what you think you'd like to get for them and wait for more offers. It's about the only thing you can, other than putting them on ebay, to generate interest. what kind of offers are you getting?


    It looks like I'm getting offers anywhere from $500-$100 for the set. $500 is what they would be not-altered, so I'm not THAT dumb. The offers have gone up consistently since I've posted. It's right at $1,000 for the set as of this morning...

    Those Jason Chan alters are so baller, I love when an artist alters his own cards. Was it expensive to get him to do that?

    Here's what I've been working on lately, just another set of Delvers. Somehow, they took longer doing a second time around which doesn't make much sense. Anyway, I mainly took this pic to experiment with some fun new camera filters.




    Source is Mario 3 GBA version instruction book (JP).


    These took a while to get back and I don't think he'll be doing many more alters in the near future...he's a busy man. i wish there was a way for you to see these up close, they are absolutely ridiculous with the foiling...

    Yeah, these babies look gorgeous in person...the foiling just makes them pop so much.

    I'm getting some very interesting offers...but none of them are very close to each other..some high, some low.

    I'd like to see how I can really get an accurate value without having to pop them on ebay...

    Hey guys...I'm raising some money to buy a place and I wanted to see what I could get for these babies.

    All Foil. All Altered by Jason Chan himself. All tournament legal.



    Thanks for your help guys!

    Quote from Krimson Viper
    Every cell in my body is telling me that thing guy is full of unsavory stuffing, but could this actually happen?



    If that isn't clear, a guy is trying to trade with me and he said that he got a Revised Bayou in a Zen pack. I just need to confirm that he is completely bogus and that I should report him to mods. This is on another site and I'm not sure how the staff feels about announcing another website.

    STAFF PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF WE CAN OR CANNOT MENTION OTHER SITES. If we can I will post site and mods can PM me for his SN.


    Um, it is entirely possible that the Bayou was pulled from a 1st gen Zen pack. Google it...
